Ivan Petrov, in his own words, "...chose to become a drunk...a vagabond and a beggar...". Over the course of two years he told his story to Walton who has translated and organised a remarkable first-person narrative that spans from the time of Stalin to the present day. The account of Soviet jails, hospitals, camps, psychiatric clinics and provinces is completely personal and a world away from both TV news and dry think-tanked essays. A mirror to the 'lower depths'.
Written by C S Walton, published by Garrett County Press, 2006.
